DC Generator – UI control with BMS

You can connect a Fischer Panda AGT generator to a battery management system (BMS). In BMS UI mode the AGT can control either on voltage or on current.

Functional description

In BMS UI mode the AGT can control either on voltage or on current. The battery management system (BMS) delivers the input values. It uses a CAN message (PGN 65305) to specify the control variable and further parameters. The flags in SPN 520270 determine whether voltage or current should be regulated. These flags are also used to code whether the other size (current in case of control for voltage and vice versa) is to be used as limiter.

There are four options to use the BMS UI mode:

SPN 520270control variable / type of limiterDescription
0control voltage / no limiterwhen regulating to voltage (U_bat) without limitation the current (I_charge) is ignored
1control voltage / current limiterthe voltage (U_bat) is regulated as long as the battery current (I_charge) is below its limit value (I_limit),
when the battery current reaches its limit, the system switches to current control
2control current / no limiterwhen regulating to current (I_charge) without limitation the voltage (U_bat) is ignored
3control current / voltage limiterthe current (I_charge) is regulated if the battery voltage (U_bat) is below its limit value (U_limit),
when the battery voltage reaches its limit, the system switches to voltage control
